For 3 months I was applying everywhere.
Naukri. LinkedIn. Company websites. AngelList. Everywhere.
Same resume. Same cover note. Same LinkedIn profile.
2 callbacks in 3 months. 😔
I was convinced the problem was my skills. So I learned more React. Built another project. Added more to my resume.
Still nothing.
Then a senior developer I knew looked at my resume for 10 seconds and said —

I changed the format over one weekend.
8 callbacks in the next 3 weeks. 🤯
Same skills. Same projects. Same experience. Completely different resume format.
